The router isn’t the only part of the equation. Who is your ISP and what kind of ping times are you getting?*
Run Speedtest on Ocala website. If you have cable internet unfortunately what your neighbors are doing can cause issues as it a shared line back to The headend and it doesn’t matter what tier you have.
This is probably one of the best things about having fiber all the way to the house. You have your own channel all the way back to the headend. *

Considering that ASUS has End Of Lifed the GT-AC5300 I would say do NOT buy any ASUS Router. I bought one and they have not released a firmware update for it since August 28th, which is an absolute joke. The KRACK fix has not been rolled out and they don't seem to care at all about updating the router. I regret blowing $450 on it.
I would say get something from Synology or even Netgear....from a company that gives a **** about it's customers and actually updates things.
WOW, Tell us how you really feel.....Dont hold back!
Where did you see an EOL notice? This is the latest version over the older AC5300 that pretty much only has more flash memory and more ram. Last firmware update was about 4 months ago. Not releasing firmware repeatedly is actually a good thing. Its only done to address known issues that can be repeated. As for any KRACK fix if you havent noticed ASUS has a lot of products that they are currently working on vulerabliltiy issues. They are rolling out, some are fixed others are still in the pipeline. I ran the previous Version AC5300 with no worries since it first hit the shelves unitl recently when I went with a 10GBe network and needed a routed with a SFP+ port to connect to my 10GBe switch and bought a Netgear X10 that is nowhere near as customisable as the ASUS routers. The UI and settings are very basic and the Qos is a joke and slows down everything. It doesnt even have a decent parental control where you can pick a device and set hours for it. Take the settings on the ASUS AC5300, remove about 80% of it and there you have the Netgear flagship. If ASUS had a router with SFP+ thats the route I would have taken. FWIW the Netgear flagship just updated its firmware for the first time to address vulnerabilites TODAY!! This is the first update since it was launched in March. AC5300 GT has released two updates with another pending.
Synology routers are simple and to the point, same hardware as a Netgear.
I am very interest in this EOL notice though, can you please post a link to it?
